Chapter 172 No qualifications
Korkar, who is also a writer and psychoanalyst, once said: "If there were enough rockets and spacecraft in the world, I dare say that the first large-scale space wedding would definitely be held by Indians... ≦ This is not to be in line with the neighbors, but to hold it better than the neighbors, and to make the neighbors beat their chests and stamp their feet." Indian weddings combine luxury and tradition, shining with luxurious brilliance and inheriting the simplicity of ancient traditions. In fact, it is not only weddings, but also private cocktail parties and banquets are also ways for Indian rich people to show their identity and wealth. As an old family in New Delhi, the banquets held by the Patera family are naturally of high quality.
Little Card thought that his vision was quite low, but when he walked into Amisha's birthday party venue, he couldn't help but be stunned. This was not the banquet hall of a hotel. It was just an ancient Indian palace. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Such a good hotel was not allowed to move in before. If it weren't for Amisha's invitation today, it would be not certain whether he could get in.
While he was stunned, Amisha, who was standing at the door to greet the guests, greeted him warmly: "Hello, Card, welcome to my birthday party. I hope you can have fun tonight."
At this time, Kade noticed Amisha who was dressed up in a dress. He found that wearing traditional Indian sari, Amisha looked particularly charming after being dressed up, so he praised: "Amisha, you are so beautiful tonight." As he said that, he stepped forward, opened his arms, and wanted to hug Amisha.
But Old Patera, who had been eyeing her, blocked her face with a cold face, and then said, "Mr. Card, this is India, and the etiquette of Americans does not apply here."
Although he knew that Old Patera was Amisha's grandfather, the interrupted little Card was still very unhappy, so he defended: "I'm sorry for this gentleman. I'm an Indian."
Old Patera snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, if you really think you are an Indian, you can't get into this door at all."
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Amisha quickly dissuaded and said, "Okay, okay, you all say less, Card. Go in first and have something to drink, the banquet will begin at six o'clock!"
So little Card had to walk in disappointment, but what happened immediately made him even more depressed. He found that no matter how enthusiastic and proactive he was, no one clinked glasses with him or talked to him, just like he was a disaster star. Everyone hid far away, and no one even picked up a piece of snacks for himself, and no one touched the plate of snacks again.
Just when little Card was depressed, a tall and handsome young man suddenly walked over and raised his wine glass and greeted: "Hello, are you Mr. Card?"
Card was very puzzled. He didn't seem to know this guy, so how did he know his name, so he asked curiously: "Hello, sir, I am Card. Uh, where have we seen it?"
The young man shook his head and said, "No, I haven't seen you. I just heard of your name and identity."
"Oh? Then how did you recognize me?" Little Card asked.
The young man smiled and explained, "This is really too simple, because in this venue, there is only you, a guest with a caste, so I found you at a glance." (The caste is a title for Indian untouchables by British colonists in 1935. It is still used after India's independence. Although there is no difference in essence, it sounds better...)
Little Card nodded with depression and said, "Well, okay, you're right. Now I'm the only one who is isolated in the entire venue, so it must be very easy to find. But I still don't understand. Everyone's physical characteristics are similar, so how did you find out that I'm from the list of castes?"
The young man pondered for a moment and replied, "Mr. Kade, you must have never lived in India. If you grew up in India, then distinguishing a person's caste, especially a man's caste, is almost an instinct. It takes only one second to look at it. Of course, people like you who have lived abroad since childhood are a little troublesome to judge, but it only takes a few more seconds to still be able to judge. The easiest way is to look at the holy line."
As he said that, the young man shook the coil woven from three thin threads on his wrist and said, "I think you must know the caste system in India? Men of high caste must perform a ceremony to wear holy threads when they are born, so the ones with coils are the high caste, and those without coils are the low caste. Then, the material of the coil is used to distinguish the specific caste class. The coil of Vaishya is yarn, the Kshatriya is the linen thread, and the Brahmin is the cotton thread."
Little Kard carefully identified the coil on the young man's hand, and then asked uncertainly: "Then are you cotton thread? Does that mean you are a Brahmin?"
The young man nodded and said, "Yeah, that's right, you're right. Didn't you tell me it's just right?"
"Thank you for your advice. By the way, after chatting for so long, I don't know your name yet. It's so rude!" Little Card asked apologetically.
"My name is Shakru-Pandit, I'm glad to know you!" the young man replied with a smile.
"Shakru-Pandit? This name sounds so familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere, and I have heard it more than once." After thinking for a long time, little Card suddenly remembered it and exclaimed: "You are Shakru-Pandit, the brother Shakru-Pandit in Amisha's mouth, her boyfriend, my love rival?"
Shakru nodded and said, "Yes, I am Amisha's boyfriend, but I don't admit that you are my rival, because you are not qualified to be a rival!"
Hearing this, Little Carder was furious: "Mr. Pandit, your words are too insulting. As long as Amisha is not married yet, then anyone will have the right to pursue her."
"Yes, it's true that anyone can pursue her, but the problem is that you have no chance of success at all, so how can you become my rival?"
"You just met Amisha earlier than me, otherwise the person around her would definitely be me and not you!"
